Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the melted coconut oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add Zucchini: Stir in the grated zucchini.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Fill and Top the Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Cool and Serve: Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cloves or allspice to the spice mix.
Ensure the zucchini is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the bread.
To keep the bread moist, store it in an airtight container.
